People need to wear seat belts in the back because they could be thrown out the window if in a car accident

Added: In most US states there is no statutory requirement that adult back seat passengers be belted. To be certain of the law in your state contact your local law enforcement agency or office of the DMV.

Will an airbag go off with out a seat belt on?

Yes it will! There is a sensor under the seat (passenger side) that senses the weight of a person in the seat. The Air-bag systems also have a sensor in them that detects sudden impact in specific directions. However - air-bags are designed to be used in conjunction WITH a seat-belt. The idea is - under rapid deceleration, the seat belt locks and the air-bag simultaneously deploys.


Why is a backward facing car seat safer for an infant than a seat that faces forward during a collision or abrupt stop?

Its safer for the seat to be facing backwards, because during a collision or an abrupt stop the infant would not be able to slip out of the car seat, and also so the infant will not choke on the car seat's seat belt. It is also safer to have an infant/child to be sitting in the back seat and not in the front passenger seat until the recommended age.

Why do you need to wear a seat belt?

The cabin of your car or truck is designed to absorb impact and keep the occupant area fairly stable. By wearing a seat belt you will be held in place in the cabin and greatly improve your chance of survival. If you are in an accident not wearing a seat belt you will be thrown around inside the car sustaining many more serious "crashes" inside the vehicle or, you could be thrown out of the vehicle into oncoming traffic or even be squashed by your own car. You might ask yourself this question. Would you ever go flying in a high powered military jet and not buckle up? Of course not. And yet, there is nothing going on inside that jet that is any more violent than a car crash.
